About product

HMS King George V 1:700: waterline kit, Tamiya

An injection-molded plastic kit of the British battleship HMS King George V in 1:700 scale from the Japanese manufacturer Tamiya, out of the Waterline range. The model is built as a waterline version, that is without the lower part of the hull, and you can display it on a flat surface or in a diorama with water. The exterior detail of the ship is captured including the superstructures, the bridge and the masts with radar and the anti-aircraft armament. The kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

The real subject

King George V was the lead ship of the British battleship class of the same name, completed at the end of 1940. In May 1941 she took part in the pursuit of the German battleship Bismarck and saw action for the first time. From 1941 to 1942 she served on escort and patrol operations in the Atlantic, and in 1943 she headed for the Mediterranean, where she covered the Allied landings in Sicily and in Italy. She is among the best known British battleships of the Second World War.

Building and painting tips

Glue the small parts with thin cement for plastic, drop by drop; a metal weight for the stability of the hull is usually included with the model. Prime the hull and decks and paint them with an airbrush, and finish the anti-aircraft guns and radars with a brush. For a finer result, added photo-etched railings and nets work well, as does displaying the model on a stand or in a water scene.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of warships in 1:700 scale
  • For anyone interested in the Royal Navy and the hunt for the Bismarck
  • For modelers who like to add photo-etched parts to ships
  • For builders of naval dioramas on the water

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes. It depicts the hull above the waterline, so you can display it on a flat surface as if on the water or in a diorama with water.

King George V took part in the pursuit and the final action against the battleship Bismarck in May 1941. It was this episode that made her one of the best known British battleships.

The model can be built straight from the box. Photo-etched railings and nets are an optional addition that refines the look; they can be bought separately.
